With respect to the prepared figures, thicknesses, lengths or the like of each element in each figure are not limited to the configuration shown in the figure.

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically illustrating an example of a configuration of an external view of a light emitting device in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of lead frames illustrating a state prior to mounting a light emitting element such as an LED element in the light emitting device of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of lead frames and a light emitting element illustrating a state of being mounted with the light emitting element such as an LED element on the lead frame in the light emitting device of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a cutting image view of singulation for obtaining the light emitting device of FIG. 1.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, a light emitting device 1 such as an LED device of Embodiment 1 has an optical element 2 such as an LED element for emitting light, a metallic lead frame 3 that constitutes one of the electrodes and Where the optical element 2 is arranged, a metallic lead frame 4 that constitutes the other electrode, and a white resin cavity molding package 5 using white resin integrally molded with a pair of these lead frames 3, 4.

For white resin, thermosetting resin of silicone based (as resin material other than silicone based material (hard and brittle), epoxy, PPA (polyphthalamide), or the like may be used) resin material added with light diffusion material such as titanium oxide is used. On the package 5, a recess section having side walls in the perimeter is formed to open upwards. In the recess section, side surfaces 5 a of a reflective wall are formed to taper open towards the outside in four directions.

The light emitting device 1 is mounted with the light emitting element 2, and has a pair of lead frames 3, 4 constituting each electrode that is wire-bonded to a terminal of the light emitting element 2 by a wire 2 a. A plurality of these pairs are arranged in a matrix pattern, and a retention section is provided for linking between each adjacent lead frames 3, 3 and adjacent lead frames 4, 4. The retention section is generally called “suspension”. The retention section between adjacent lead frames will be called hanger leads (also referred to as suspension lead).

The production method of the light emitting device 1 of Embodiment 1 will be explained.

Initially, in a white resin cavity molding step of FIG. 2, a plurality of pairs having the lead frames 3, 4 as a pair are arranged in the column and row directions in a matrix pattern, and lead frames adjacent in the column and row directions are linked by hanger leads 3 d or 4 d with one another. The package 5 made of white resin is integrally molded with a plurality of pairs of such lead frames 3, 4. A recess section is formed to open upward on a package 5 constituted of integrally molded white resin. A side surface 5 a in this recess section is formed to taper open towards the outside.

Next, in an optical element mounting step of FIG. 3, an optical element 2 is mounted at the central portion of the bottom surface in the recess section of the package 5 constituted of integrally molded white resin. In short, the optical element 2 is fixed and mounted in a predetermined position on the lead frame 3 which is exposed in the recess section of the package 5 with an adhesive or the like. The optical element 2 is wire-bonded to each of the lead frames 3, 4.

Next, in an inner resin tilling step of FIG. 1, the inside of the recess section of the package 5 constituted of white resin is filled in with sealing inner resin 6 along with the optical element 2. Light scattering material, fluorescent material, and the like is mixed into the sealing inner resin 6 (also referred to as sealing resin). For example, if the optical element 2 is a blue LED, the optical element can be configured to output white light with blue light by mixing in fluorescent material emitting red and green lights in the inner resin 6.

After that, in a singulation step of FIG. 4, a plate body 8 is cut in a lattice pattern between each light emitting device 1 to singulate into each light emitting device 1 by a blade 7 (rotating cutting blade) while a cutting tape is pasted onto the back surface of the plate body 8 on which a plurality of light emitting devices 1 are formed in a matrix pattern. In this case, cutting planes of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a of the lead frames 3, 4 match the cutting plane side surface of the package 5 made of white resin (Pkg resin). Further, each light emitting device 1 that is cut using a cutting tape that is not shown in the drawings does not come apart. The cutting tape is removed in the final step.

Here, each cross-sectional shape, which is the feature configuration of the present invention, upon cutting the hanger lead 3 a of the lead frame 3 where the optical element 2 is mounted and that constitutes one of the electrodes and the hanger lead 4 a of the lead frame 4 constituting the other electrode will be explained using FIGS. 5A to 5E.

Corner parts where the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a as each retention section of the lead frames 3, 4 gives stress concentration to white resin (Pkg resin) to become a cause of crack generation are removed and given roundness. When the direction of the rotation of the blade 7 is in a clockwise direction, rotational force is exerted on the white resin downward. However, when the direction of the rotation of the blade 7 is in a counter-clockwise direction, rotational force is exerted on the white resin upward. Generally, cutting is more stable when the direction of the rotation of the blade 7 is in a clockwise direction.

FIG. 5A is a cutting plane side surface illustrating a case where the bottom two corner parts among the four corner parts of a quadrangular shape of a cutting plane of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a of the light emitting device 1 of FIG. 1 are given roundness. FIG. 5B is an expanded view of the shape of the cutting plane of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a of FIG. 5A. FIG. 5C is a cutting plane view of a hanger lead illustrating a case where chamfer C processing instead of rounding R processing of FIG. 5B is applied to the bottom two corner parts. FIG. 5D is a cutting plane view of a hanger lead illustrating a case where the shape of the cutting plane of the hanger lead has a semi-circular or semi-elliptical shape. FIG. 5E is a cutting plane view illustrating a case where only one corner part on the bottom side among four corner parts of the shape of the cutting plane of the hanger lead of FIG. 5A is given roundness.

As illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B, roundness (referred to as rounding processing section (R processing section)) for crack prevention at the time of cutting is given to the two corner parts on the back surface side of the light emitting device 1 or the installation surface side (bottom side) of the light emitting device among the four corner parts of a quadrangular shape that is a square or rectangular cross-section of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a. In short, a curved surface section of a cutting plane of the lead hangers 3 a, 4 a that is given roundness is provided, on the side surface of the package 5 (cutting plane), on the side with thinner thickness of white resin in comparison to the thickness of white resin around the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a, the thickness of the white resin (Pkg resin) being from the position of the cutting plane of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a to the position of the installation surface (bottom side) of the light emitting device 1, or is formed to give roundness (referred to as rounding processing section (R processing section) to two corner parts on the side (bottom side) on which a cutting load due to the blade to the white resin package 5 at the time of cutting is exerted on the white resin. Since it is sufficient to suppress cracks at the time of cutting, all four corner parts or the entire circumference of a quadrangular shape that is a square or rectangular cross-section of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a can be a curved surface (for example, circular or elliptical cross section). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5D, the shape of the cutting plane of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a can be a semi-circle or a semi-elliptical.

Further, a lead frame main body of the lead frames 3, 4 (except the curved surface section of suspension lead) can be formed by not only etching using an acidic or alkaline solution (hereinafter, etching that reduces the thickness of a lead frame substrate to about half will be referred to as half-etching), but also by press molding.

An example of formation will be explained below.

On the back surface of a metal plate substrate (surface on the back side that is to be an installation surface of the light emitting device, opposite side back surface of the mounting surface (light emitting surface side) of the light emitting element 2 (for example, LED chip)), which is the basis of the frame main body of the lead frames 3, 4, a mask is formed on the part to be an installation surface of the light emitting device 1 and the periphery thereof is half-etched. Next, on the front surface of the metal plate substrate (surface of the mounting surface side of an LED chip), a mask is formed on parts corresponding to the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a and mounting surface section of the LED chip, and wire-bonding section, and the surrounding parts thereof are half-etched. At this time, a mask is formed on the entire surface on the back surface side of the metal plate substrate so as not to be etched.

In this step, the section between the lead frames 3, 4 of the metallic plate substrate is etched for the whole thickness, which secures electrical insulation between the lead frames 3, 4. Further, the lead frames 3, 4 are retained by the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a between other pairs of the lead frames 3, 4.

Further, in mask formation on the surface of the metallic plate substrate, it can be such that a mask of a part corresponding to the recess section to be an anchor section is not formed in order to improve adhesion with the above-mentioned white resin and/or inner resin. The same applies to a half-etching step of the back surface side of the metal plate substrate.

Further, half-etching can be performed in the order of front surface side and back surface side, or the front and back can be performed simultaneously.

Commonly used, well-known material, such as resist, is used as mask material.

After the above-described lead frame formation step, in order to make the cross-sectional shape of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a to have a desired curved surface shape (for example, rounding processing illustrated in FIG. 5B), after removing the mask, soft-etching (processing with an acidic or alkaline solution or the like in a short period of time) is performed. Besides this, as illustrated in FIG. 5C, chamfer processing (also referred to as C processing) can be performed on the two corner parts on the bottom side of the four corner parts to remove the corner parts, instead of the rounding processing of FIG. 5B.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 5E, roundness (rounding processing or chamfer processing) for crack prevention at the time of cutting can be given to one corner part on either left or right on the back surface side (bottom side) of the light emitting device 1 among the four corner parts of a quadrangular shape that is a square or rectangular cross-section of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a. In short, when cut into each light emitting device 1 by a blade, roundness (rounding processing or chamfer processing) for crack prevention at the time of cutting is given to one corner part on either left or right on the side where the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a are initially cut to disperse stress concentration.

When the cross-sectional dimension of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a of the lead frames 3, 4 is made to be, for example, a cross sectional rectangle with a long side (width) of 150 μm×short side (thickness) of 120 μm, the radius (r) of the curved surface section given roundness (rounding processing or chamfer processing (chamfer part C)) of the cutting plane of the hanger leads 3 a, 4 a is to be r=30 to 90 μm (or 40 to 60 μm). If the radius (r) becomes less than 30 μm, the effect of dispersing stress concentration is greatly reduced. From the viewpoint of consistency in production steps, it is preferable that the radius (r) is a value of 60 μm, which is half of the short side (length) of 120 μm. The radius (r) is equal to R that indicates a rounding processing radius in FIGS. 5B, 5D, and 5E. Further, the dotted line illustrated in FIG. 5A is the positions 5 b of the surface of the lead frames 3, 4 and the rounding surface of the light emitting element 2 which indicates the position of the bottom surface of the recess section.

In short, as mentioned above, roundness is given to a part or all of the cross sectional corner parts of the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) which becomes a cause of crack generation from stress concentration given to white resin by the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) of the lead frames 3, 4 at the time of cutting.

Specifically, for example, roundness for crack prevention can be given to one or two corner parts which becomes a cause of crack generation at the time of cutting among four corner parts of a quadrangular cutting plane in the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) of the lead frames 3, 4. Further, roundness can be given to one or two corner parts on the device installation surface side or the device back surface side among the four corner parts of a quadrangular cutting plane in the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) of the lead frames 3, 4 that are exposed on the cutting plane side surface of the package 5. Furthermore, roundness can be give to at least one of two corner parts that oppose the thinner side of white resin among the four corner parts of the quadrangular cutting plane in the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) of the lead frames 3, 4 that are exposed on the cutting plane side surface of the package 5. Furthermore, roundness can be given to one or two corner parts on the side on which a cutting load by the cutting blade to the white resin of the package 5 at the time of cutting is exerted. Moreover, roundness can be given to all four corner parts or the entire circumference of the quadrangular cutting plane in the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a) of the lead frames that are exposed on the cutting side surface of the package 5. Furthermore, rounding can be formed by rounding processing or chamfer processing.

In the above-described Embodiment 1, cross section rounding of the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a), which is the feature configuration of the present application, is applied to the light emitting device 1 using the package 5 where one light emitting element 2 that emits light is mounted and that is constituted of lead frames 3, 4 constituting electrodes corresponding to the one light emitting element 2 and white resin, but is not limited to this. Cross section rounding of the retention sections (hanger leads 3 a, 4 a), which is the feature configuration of the present application, can be applied to a light emitting device using a package where a plurality (for example, two or three) of light emitting elements that emit light are mounted and that is constituted of lead frames constituting electrodes corresponding to the plurality of light emitting element and white resin.

From the above, in a light emitting device where a hanger lead cutting plane and a light emitting device dividing (cut) surface are on a same plane, by the crack suppression effect due to the above-described hanger lead configuration, thermosetting resin that possesses excellent weather resistance and light resistance, but is hard and brittle, can be used as Pkg resin with stability.

In other words, from the configuration of the invention of the present application (hanger lead configuration), since load to Pkg resin due to lead frames can be reduced, and further thermosetting resin that possesses excellent weather resistance and light resistance can be used as Pkg resin, reliability as a light emitting device can be improved. Further, a light emitting device configuration where a cutting plane of a hanger lead and a light emitting device dividing (cut) surface are on a same plane can be employed. Thus, an outer lead configuration in which the exterior of Pkg resin protrudes out is not employed. Thereby, a light emitting device can be made small and the number of pkg that can be arranged on a lead frame can be increased, which have cost lowering effects.

As described above, the present invention is exemplified by the use of its preferred Embodiment 1. However, the present invention should not be interpreted solely based on Embodiments 1 described above. It is understood that the scope of the present invention should be interpreted solely based on the claims. It is also understood that those skilled in the art can implement an equivalent scope of technology, based on the description of the present invention and common knowledge from the detailed description of the preferred Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention. Furthermore, it is understood that any patent, any patent application, and any references cited in the present specification should be incorporated by reference in the present specification in the same manner as the contents are specifically described therein.
